Develop AI Up-skilling pathways: The project aims to design and implement structured up-skilling pathways specifically tailored to small business owners, particularly those over the age of 50, to enhance their competencies in the field of AI.
These pathways will be designed to cater to individuals with varying levels of AI knowledge, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility for all. - Increase digital readiness of SME owners and managers: AI-WORK will provide adult workers with the necessary knowledge and skills to understand, adopt, and effectively use AI technologies in their businesses, leading to improved efficiency, productivity, and competitiveness, as well as digital readiness, a key feature in the ever evolving labour market.
- Impact the labour market and adult education: The project will create a new, innovative, and replicable short module on AI training. This module will serve as a comprehensive resource that can be adapted and replicated by other adult education institutions, businesses, or organizations, extending the impact of the project beyond the consortium.
During the duration of the project, the following results will be developed:
- Increased AI Competencies among SME Owners: By the end of the project, the targeted SME owners will demonstrate improved competencies in AI. They will be able to identify areas in their businesses where AI can be integrated effectively, implement AI-driven solutions, and make informed decisions based on AI insights.
- Enhanced Digital Transformation and Adaptability: AI-WORK aims to foster digital transformation by enabling SME owners to embrace AI technologies, thereby increasing their adaptability to the rapidly changing business environment. As a result, these businesses will be better equipped to respond to market demands and remain competitive.
- Increased Uptake of Adult Education: The project will contribute to the broader goal of increasing the uptake of adult education. By offering relevant and timely AI up-skilling opportunities, the project will attract more adults, especially SME owners and managers, to engage in continuous learning and professional development.
